Part 4 - Integrals - Video 1
Section 1: Antiderivatives, Indefinite Integrals
Lesson 1: Antiderivatives and Integrals (48:44)

We "think backwards" to find a function with a given derivative (0:37). Next the definition of antiderivative; including power functions, trig functions, and exponentials (7:50). The integral sign represents the antiderivative (31:10).

Section 1: Antiderivatives, Indefinite Integrals
Lesson 2: The Power Rule for Integrals (53:45)

We make the derivative come out to x^n using the "fix-It factor" (0:38). This gives us the power rule (8:18). We finish by working various power-rule examples (18:08).

Section 1: Antiderivatives, Indefinite Integrals
Lesson 3: Properties of Indefinite Integrals (53:45)

Review of antiderivatives (0:38). We discover the constant multiple rule for Integrals (12:12). From properties of derivatives we deduce the sum rule (23:54). Finally a few polynomial examples (29:28).
